Techno Police 21C

The story follows a stolen MBT-99A tank-a vehicle oddly designed by the U.S. Air Force, though its fighter jet-like ejection system later saves Eleanor when the tank is about to explode. The film clearly wants the audience to admire this machine. At one point, when escape seems certain, the scene shifts to a surreal moment with cocktail-lounge jazz and swirling sparkly lights around the tank. The MBT-99A is armed with six ATGM launchers (three on each side of the turret),a laser-based weapon resembling a machine gun, and a rifled main cannon. Its treads are split into dual mounts, giving it four sets in total. The laser weapon, however, seems impractical for a machine gun role-it fires slowly, only once every few seconds, and prioritizes target locking (in this case, on Blader) over rapid fire. This hints at limited ammunition, unlike the high-capacity machine guns on real tanks. The laser also leaves no visible damage, raising questions about its power. Another tank, the MBT-90D, is deployed by the military (though it’s unclear if it’s the Army or Air Force-a general later arrives in what looks like an ADATS) to stop the MBT-99. Despite sending at least a platoon of MBT-90Ds, they fail to catch it. These tanks have a three-barreled autocannon (likely 15-20mm caliber),three ATGM launchers on the left turret side, and a front-mounted main gun instead of a turret. The hijackers-hired by a shadowy foreign group seeking military advantage-take the MBT-99 after a bank robbery. When Ken’s team forces them out, Eleanor boards the tank to examine it, only for it to start autonomously. Programmed by the hijackers to reach a pier and plunge into the sea to meet an enemy submarine, the tank begins a chaotic chase through the city. The pursuit destroys another bank (owned by the same corporation as the first) and causes widespread collateral damage.
